Hahaha wow I see! Thats really impressive. I'll definitely keep your setup in mind for my build. I was really hoping I would find someone with a similiar setup. The only real difference between us is that I am going with the 5r55s auto that comes stock in the car, just built.

What do you think of the turbo cams you have on your car now?

Don't know about cams yet...had stage IIs on previous build. This is what the IIIs sound like though on the car. Getting closer to dynotuning. Still have to wire the e-boost, fuel pump, bleed brakes. The delete plates are being welded and then need porting for the new intake. I don't do any of the work, so just reporting what I am told.

Builds are relative. This one is more advanced than some and way less impressive than others you might find on different mustang forums.

While I agree you should go with a 9" for that much power, you are not getting a complete Currie for $1350.
You need to go to the page you linked, then press the "click here to build your crate rearend".
Ford sells the 9" from the Cobra Jet, in what looks to be a complete unit.

Think I spent $4K+ on the Currie. One of my buds, running low 10s and also shooting for 9s, also spent more than $4K on his recent 9 inch purchase
